The road freight volume of basic metals and fabricated metal products in Germany is forecasted to decline from 1.82 billion tonne kilometers in 2024 to 1.64 billion tonne kilometers in 2028. Year-on-year data shows a consistent decrease of approximately 2-3% each year. In 2023, the volume stood at an estimated 1.85 billion tonne kilometers, indicating a downward trend as we head into the future. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period suggests a steady contraction in road freight volume.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in logistics and supply chain management, the impact of regulatory changes, and shifts in domestic and international demand for metals, which could influence road freight dynamics in Germany.
